Director: Arthur Penn Edit Storyline The personnel at the 4077 MASH unit deal with the horrors of the Korean War and the stresses faced in surgery by whatever means. The tone at the MASH is established by recent arrivals, surgeons Captains 'Hawkeye' Pierce, 'Duke' Forrest, and 'Trapper' John McIntyre - the latter who Hawkeye knows he's met somewhere, but Trapper who won't divulge where - whose antics can be best described as non-regulation, and in the negative words of one of their fellow MASH-ers: unmilitary. The unit's commanding officer, Colonel Henry Blake, doesn't care about this behavior as long as it doesn't affect him, and as long as they do their job and do it well, which they do. Their behavior does extremely bother fellow surgeon, Major Frank Burns, and recently arrived head nurse, Major Margaret Houlihan, who obtains the nickname 'Hot Lips' based on information they glean about her through underhanded means.

Maybe I was over-prepared (Hey, it took me a second viewing of 'Citizen Kane' to get my past pre-set expectations!). But while I could see why M*A*S*H was groundbreaking and important for a Hollywood film of it's day (lack of the usual clear narrative line, anti-war stance, overlapping, improvised dialogue, sexuality, bloody operating room scenes serving as ironic counterpart, etc), it felt pretty dated and unfocused. There are some very funny moments, but a lot of the ironies seem easy, and there's a lack of a true darker underpinnings and ideas, unlike, say, 'Dr. Strangelove'. A lot of the humor is juvenile, cruel and silly. And while I get that's the point  nothing can be more deeply juvenile, cruel and silly than war, it got repetitive and heavy handed after a while. The performances are good, but beyond Robert Duvall, none of the characters have much in the way of dimensions. People stay exactly what we think they are from the moment we meet them. Walter Chow makes a good argument on the web site 'Film Freak Central', that the sexism, homophobia, etc are the whole point.

Altman is saying we're ALL beasts at heart, even if we act like we're bucking the system. It's an interesting idea, but I'm not sure I buy it's what Altman was intending. 7 of 10 people found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes Donald Sutherland | Monster M*A*S*H | Fandom powered by Wikia Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce Donald Sutherland (born July 17, 1935) is the actor who played Cpt. Benjamin Franklin Pierce aka Hawkeye in the 1970 Robert Altman directed film MASH . He was replaced in the TV series by actor Alan Alda . Others also replaced or omitted from the TV series project were Margaret Houlihan and Henry Blake and the rest of the M*A*S*H* cast movie, with the notable exception of Walter "Radar" O'Reilly , played by actor Gary Burghoff . Also portraying the same character in two episodes was G. Wood as General Hammond . Donald Sutherland is the father of actor Kiefer Sutherland.

Contents Edit Sutherland was born in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, the son of Dorothy Isobel (née McNichol; 1892–1956) and Frederick McLea Sutherland (1894–1983), who worked in sales and ran the local gas, electricity, and bus company. [1] His ancestry includes Scottish, as well as German and English. [2] [3] As a child he battled rheumatic fever, hepatitis and poliomyelitis. [4] His teenage years were spent in Nova Scotia, [5] and he got his first part time job at age 14 as a news correspondent for local independent radio station CKBW in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia. He then studied at Victoria University in the University of Toronto, where he met his first wife Lois Hardwick (not the child star of the same name), and graduated with a double major in engineering and drama. He had at one point been a member of the "UC Follies" comedy troupe in Toronto.

He changed his mind about becoming an engineer, and subsequently left Canada for England in 1957 [6] to study at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. Early acting career Edit In the early-to-mid-1960s, Sutherland began to gain small parts in British films and TV. He featured alongside Christopher Lee in horror films such as Castle of the Living Dead and Dr. Terror's House of Horrors (1965), appeared in a 1967 episode of The Avengers entitled "The Superlative Seven" and twice appeared in the TV series The Saint, firstly in the 1965 episode "The Happy Suicide" and then, more auspiciously, in the episode "Escape Route" at the end of 1966. "Escape Route" was directed by the show's star, Roger Moore, who later recalled that Sutherland "asked me if he could show it to some producers as he was up for an important part... they came to view a rough cut at the studio and he got The Dirty Dozen".

Sutherland was then on course for the first of the three war films which would make his name: as one of the The Dirty Dozen in 1967, alongside Lee Marvin and Charles Bronson; as the lead "Hawkeye" Pierce in Robert Altman produced/directed MASH in 1970; and, again in 1970, as hippy-like tank commander Sgt. Oddball in Kelly's Heroes, alongside Clint Eastwood and Telly Savalas. In 1968, after the breakthrough in UK-made The Dirty Dozen, Sutherland left London permanently for Hollywood. Sutherland won acclaim for his performance in the Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci's 1976 epic film 1900 and as the conflicted father in the Academy award-winning family drama Ordinary People (1980) alongside Mary Tyler Moore and Timothy Hutton. In 1981 he narrated A War Story, an Anne Wheeler film. He played the part of physician-hero Norman Bethune in two separate biographical films in 1977 and 1990.

A prolific actor, some of Sutherland's better-known roles in the 1980s and 1990s were in the South African apartheid drama A Dry White Season (1989), alongside Marlon Brando and Susan Sarandon; as an incarcerated pyromaniac in the firefighter thriller Backdraft (1989) alongside Kurt Russell and Robert De Niro, Lock-Up (1991) with Sylvester Stallone; and as the snobbish NYC art dealer in Six Degrees of Separation (1993), with Stockard Channing and Will Smith. In the 1991 Oliver Stone film JFK, Sutherland played a mysterious Washington intelligence officer, reputed to have been L. Fletcher Prouty, who spoke of links to the military–industrial complex in the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy. He played psychiatrist and visionary Wilhelm Reich in the video for Kate Bush's 1985 single, "Cloudbusting".

Recent years Edit In more recent years, Sutherland was noted for his role as Reverend Monroe in the Civil War drama Cold Mountain (2003), in the remake of The Italian Job (2003), in the TV series Commander in Chief (2005–2006), in the movie Fierce People (2005) with Diane Lane and Anton Yelchin, and as Mr. Bennet in Pride and Prejudice (2005), starring alongside Keira Knightley. He earned an Emmy nomination in 2006 for his performance in the miniseries Human Trafficking. Sutherland starred as Tripp Darling in the prime time serial Dirty Sexy Money for ABC. As of 2012, Sutherland's distinctive voice has also been recently used in many radio and television commercials, including those for Volvo automobiles.

Subscribe Alan Alda, Hawkeye in the TV series, "M*A*S*H,"at the 2012 International Emmy Awards in New York (AFP/Getty Images via @daylife) Alan Alda’s star turn as Hawkeye Pierce in the classic, still popular television series, M*A*S*H, had its roots in burlesque, the actor recalled recently. Interviewed by television journalist Jeff Greenfield at the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens, Alda said his father worked in burlesque and took his young son to watch “comics, chorus girls and strippers. It was quite an education, watching my parents from the wings. It was the best way to learn about theater,” Alda said. When he was nine, his father brought him to the Hollywood Canteen, where the two performed Abbott and Costello’s “Who’s on first” routine. “I was Costello and he was Abbott. I knew I had to be on stage.

The warmth of the spotlight would flood over me, and I felt completely at home. I was in control of everything. You can’t give it up once you taste it,” he said. Alda said he never auditioned for the role of Hawkeye, but was offered the part because of his work on Broadway and in movies. He got the script for M*A*S*H—which ran for 11 seasons on CBS, from 1972 to 1983--when he was making a film in Utah State Prison; he called writer Larry Gelbart’s writing “the best thing I’d ever read for television.” Although he initially resisted taking the role—the show was filmed in California, while his family lived in New Jersey—he said he was able to do it by flying home to New Jersey whenever he had two days off. Alda said the Hawkeye character he portrayed was different from the Hawkeye played by Donald Sutherland in Robert Altman’s film of M*A*S*H, released in 1970. (Both were based on Richard Hooker’s 1968 novel, MASH: A Novel About Three Army Doctors.) “Sutherland’s Hawkeye seemed very depressed.

Larry Gelbart’s character was much more lively, he had a sardonic sense of humor,” Alda said, adding that Sutherland’s Hawkeye was married, while his was not. Alda also said the Hawkeye he depicted “seemed so far from me. I had no idea how to play a womanizer who drank too much, was a smart aleck. I had to figure out how to be that person.” Another difference between the movie and television versions of M*A*S*H, Alda said, was that the latter “could go back show after show. We could explore the characters in a way no movie could. The characters could deepen, they could change in their relationships with each other.” Alda, who said his “heart was always against any war,” said the only way the TV series of M*A*S*H “could make a point about war was to be truthful about the Korean War. We interviewed 200 doctors and nurses who were in the Korean War.

I think that’s something that never gets thought about, that to a great extent, M*A*S*H was about real people.” The series, he added “wasn’t going to be McHale’s Navy.” In fact, he said Gelbart and series producer Gene Reynolds “got the network to agree that there would be no laughtrack during the operating scenes.” Alda admitted that watching Harry Morgan (Col. Sherman T. Potter in the series) perform in the final episode’s final scene “choked me up. He kept me laughing all the time. He was devilish and adorable. He was choking up over saying good-bye to us. He was a lovely man.” Alda also said the cast never fully understood how popular the series—which had abysmal ratings in its first season but became a hit in its second season—was until the final show—to this day, one of the most watched in U.S. television history--was on the air. “We saw it in a theater and went out to dinner together, and it was our first understanding that we had a hit. The streets were empty,” which meant people “were home watching,” he recalled. Starring in the series “was an amazing thing,” he concluded.

“When you’re young, you don’t know the role luck plays. We were lucky to have been thrown together. We had to learn a way to live together, learn the way to draw the best from each other.” Alda’s and Greenfield’s conversation was the first in a new series, offered by the Museum of the Moving Image and Comedy Hall of Fame, focusing on the impact of comedy, delivered through the medium of TV, on the consciousness of the American public.

(father) Unnamed mother, died when he was 10-years-old Two unnamed sons in MASH: A Novel Appearances Alan Alda (television series) Captain Benjamin Franklin “Hawkeye” Pierce is the lead fictional character in the M*A*S*H novels, film, and television series. The character was played by Donald Sutherland in the film and Alan Alda on television. Contents Edit Born and raised in Crabapple Cove, Maine , Hawkeye is (according to the TV series) the son of Dr. Daniel Pierce. According to the novels, his father is “Big Benjy” Pierce, a lobster fisherman. He attended Androscoggin College, where he played football and intercepted a Hail Mary pass thrown by Dartmouth quarterback John McIntyre . After his medical residency in Boston, Hawkeye is drafted into the U. S. Army and called to serve at the 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (MASH) during the Korean War.

Between long, intense sessions of treating critically wounded patients, he makes the best of his life in an isolated Army camp with heavy drinking, carousing, and pulling pranks on the people around him, especially the unpleasantly stiff and callous Major Frank Burns and Major Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan. Origin of the nickname “Hawkeye” Edit The novel established that Pierce's nickname of "Hawkeye" was given to him by his father. It comes from the novel The Last of the Mohicans, which Pierce, in Hooker's book, claimed was "The only book my old man ever read."[1] In an episode of the TV series in which Hawkeye believed himself to be in mortal danger due to heavy enemy shelling, he made out a will and left Colonel Sherman T. Potter (who Hawkeye stated was like a father) the edition of The Last of the Mohicans that his father had given him. "It was his favorite book," Hawkeye wrote in the will, implying that he had read more books.

Changes in the character Edit Although the Robert Altman film followed Hooker's book somewhat in structure, much of the dialogue was improvised and thus departed even from Ring Lardner, Jr.'s screenplay. The screenplay itself departed from the book in a number of details (e.g. Frank Burns became a major instead of a captain, and was identified with Major Hobson, the zealously religious officer that Pierce and bunk mate Trapper John McIntyre got removed from their tent and, subsequently, the camp), but on the whole, the main characters and mood were left intact. Perhaps the biggest change in Hawkeye's characterization from the book, to the big screen and finally to the small screen comes in his marital status. The Hawkeye of the book is married to Evelyn Pierce with children (according to the sequels) and faithful while in Korea (as far as the reader is concerned). He offers several doctors love advice, "Jeeter" Carroll for example, extolling the virtues of extramarital sex but never partaking himself. The film version of Hawkeye is still married, but gives himself more moral leeway, arguing that he is far from home, no one is ever going to know, and it will reduce stress for both involved.

Finally, the film's Hawkeye was transformed into the womanizing and single Hawkeye of the TV series. In the pilot, however, Hawkeye told Lieutenant Dish that he was engaged and in a later first-season episode he broke up with several women, when he believed the war had ended, by telling him that he was married, although it was revealed at the end of the episode that he was lying. A later episode shows in fact Hawkeye had a one year common law relationship with a nurse after graduating from medical college which he revealed to BJ after the woman in question is assigned to MASH 4077 as a replacement nurse. Richard Hooker, who wrote the book on which the show (and the film version) was based, noted that Hawkeye was far more liberal in the TV show (in one of the sequel books, Hawkeye facetiously makes reference to "kicking the bejesus out of lefties just to stay in shape").

Hawkeye in the television series Edit The television version of Hawkeye proved to be a somewhat different character: While his professional and social life was much the same, he also gradually evolved into a man of conscience trying to maintain some humanity and decency in the insane world into which he has been thrust. This was to a large extent due to actor Alan Alda's influence, as he infused the character with some of his political ideals and morals. Some fans regretted the change in Hawkeye, feeling that he eventually became too self-righteous and sanctimonious for his own good and the good of the show, and profess that Hawkeye worked better as a sardonic goofball. Developed for television by Larry Gelbart, the series departed in some respects radically from the film and book. The character of Duke Forrest was dropped altogether (primarily because the actor Tom Skerritt turned down the role), and Hawkeye became the center of the MASH unit's medical activity as well as the dramatic center of the series itself. In the book and the film, the Chief Surgeon had been "Trapper" John McIntyre; in the series, Pierce had that honor.

In the book and the film, Hawkeye had played football in college (Androscoggin College, based on Hornberger's alma mater Bowdoin College); in the series, Alda's Hawkeye was hardly the football-champ type and even seemed proud of it and reveled in it, while his cohort Wayne Rogers' Trapper looked sturdy enough to have played football. He seemed to resemble Groucho Marx, with his quick wit and "madcap" antics, sometimes even affecting a Groucho-like schtick. As noted above, Hawkeye had been married in the book and the film. Near the beginning of the series, he claimed to be married, though this was a ploy on his part to get out of marrying a nurse he had been involved with. Presumably this alteration rendered his romantic dalliances (chiefly with nurses) more morally acceptable in the eyes of Gelbart and the other series officials.

(In general, Gelbart tried to make the series less deliberately offensive and more "politically correct" than the film while nevertheless retaining some of its anarchic spirit.) Also, in early episodes, Hawkeye tells his father (Daniel) in a letter to say hello to his mother and sister, but in later episodes, he is an only child and his mother died when he was young. There is also a reference in the episode "Dear Dad", where he wrote a letter to his father, that their home is in Vermont and also in the Season 1 episode "Ceasefire", but all other references, including in the book and film, are to Hawkeye being from Maine. Most episodes refer to the senior Pierce as a physician, but in at least one episode, BJ addresses him over the telephone as "Mr. Pierce". {Pierce Service number was 19905607} In one episode Hawkeye nearly drowned when he was very young; he also suffers from claustrophobia both of which were childhood traumatic experiences for him. He also has fears of snakes.

A running gag in the series is that Hawkeye is very disrespectful of the US military and everything it stands for-the only time Hawkeye follows US Army regulations is 1/17 when after a close friend of his dies on the operating table, Hawkeye reports an underage soldier to Major Houlihan and the MPs so the boy can be sent back to the United States. {Ironically the part was played by Ron Howard who was actually 18 years old!} ( Sometimes You Hear the Bullet ) another time Hawkeye refuses to fudge Colonel Potter's high blood pressure readings -stating that for once he agrees with army regulations. Hawkeye has a habit of smelling his food - First episode he's seen doing this is "Payday" 3.22 when he is serving as pay officer. Radar is trying to talk to him about neccessary paperwork and Hawkeye is paying more attention to the hotdog he's preparing - he smells the saurkraut before putting it on the hotdog.

Five times in the series his character is nearly killed off-once when he had to operate on a wounded soldier who had a unexploded grenade in his body; once when a wounded POW has a live hand grenade in the operating room; once when he is in a jeep accident and suffers a serious head injury and once when he takes a cat from a shell shocked solider the patient nearly breaks Hawkeye's neck; another time a hysterical anti communist patient nearly stabs Hawkeye with a cane. He was also temporarily blinded trying to fix the nurses' stove and it exploded in his face. In one very early episode Hawkeye claims this is his second war-implying that he had been in World War II as well-although it is never shown if he was stateside or sent oversees. Although a running gag is that Hawkeye has a fellow prankster in either Trapper John or BJ this does not always turn out-once the emotional pressure of being separated from their loved ones got to be too much and both Trapper John and BJ tried to desert back to the USA-after hitting Hawkeye in the face!

In fact after Hawkeye was once misreported as dead he tries to desert but only changes his mind at the last second because wounded are coming in. ( The Late Captain Pierce ) Also in a bit of turn about is fair play, Hawkeye was twice placed in command of the 4077th, the first of which he learned how truly difficult the burden of command was for Lt. Col. Blake , Col. Potter and even Maj. Burns to which Maj. Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan replied "if only Frank Burns could see you now." The third time Col. Potter left however command was given to Maj. Winchester . The series is correct in having him be a Captain. Once the degree of MD or DO is conferred on a member of the military they are given the rank of Captain in both the US Air Force and US Army. The rank of Captain is achieved after 7 years of active duty service or a field promotion for officers on the line side (fighting). The rank of Major is attained for members of the AMEDD after serving as a Captain for 6 years.

After the war Edit At the end of the television series, Hawkeye was the second-to-last to leave the dismantled camp with the announced goal of returning to his hometown of Crabapple Cove, Maine, to be a local doctor who has the time to get to know his patients instead of the endless flow of casualties he faced in his term of service. In Hooker's two sequels to M*A*S*H: A Novel About Three Army Doctors, M*A*S*H Goes to Maine and M*A*S*H Mania, Hawkeye returns to live in Crabapple Cove, near to the town of Spruce Harbor, Maine. Having left the Army, Hawkeye is established to be working for the Veterans Administration. In May 1954 he is laid off. At this point, Hawkeye doesn't have much money in the bank, is 31 years old, and has three children: Billy, Stephen and Karen. The day he's released, Trapper John comes to visit and sets Hawkeye's future in motion.

Trapper John, a Lieutenant in the medical organization of Maxie Neville in New York City arranges for further thoracic training for Hawkeye, first in the East Orange VA Hospital in New Jersey, then at St Lombard's in Manhattan from July 1954. After two years Hawkeye breezes through the Thoracic Boards. At the end of his training in June 1956, two Spruce Harbor locals, Jocko Allcock (the man who was responsible for Hawkeye being fired by the VA) and "Wooden Leg" Willcox (the local fish magnate) come to visit Hawkeye to set him up in practice—by betting favorably on the outcome of his operations. The first operation with Trapper John's assistance (upon Pasquale Merlino) is a success, and thanks to his superior training Hawkeye becomes the local surgeon. As time goes by, Hawkeye is given more patients by the local general practitioner of note, "Doggy" Moore; goes into private practice with ex-Spitfire pilot Tony Holcombe and plots the eventual reuniting of the Swamp Gang.

By 1959 Hawkeye has lured Duke Forrest, Trapper John and Spearchucker Jones into his net, and thanks to the proceeds of the "Allcock-Willcox" syndicate, a new "Finestkind Fishmarket and Clinic" is set up along with the new Spruce Harbor General Hospital. In the twenty-year period described in Hooker's two sequel novels, Hawkeye becomes notably more conservative politically (he supported Republican "Crazy Horse" Weinstein for governor of Maine and railed against people with "Recall Ford" bumper stickers), but remains as playful and humorous as ever. His golf game improves to an eight handicap depending on the time of year. He donates heavily to various causes, such as to needy children, to the re-education of a local clamdigger, and spends an inordinate amount of time caring for his patients.

Apple Donald Sutherland – MovieActors.com Donald Sutherland – MovieActors.com Sutherland in KELLY'S HEROS . About Donald Sutherland (1934 – ) Donald McNichol Sutherland was born on July 17th, 1935, in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada. He grew up in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia, graduating from high school . Donald went to University of Toronto, where he graduated with a double degree; one in engineering and one in drama. Donald Sutherland has been married three times. His first marriage was to Lois Hardwark; (1959-1966). His second marriage was a short one, to Shirley Douglas; (1966-1970). In 1969, Shirley went overboard with her political beliefs and was arrested for trying to give grenades to the Black Panthers. She was banished to Canada. In the late 1970s', she got back to acting, and was awarded Officer of the Order of Canada, for her contributions to Canada's cinema. The good thing about the brief union of Donald and Shirley is that they did have fraternal twins in 1966.

Kiefer Sutherland, who is now a well-known actor, and Rachel who also works in the film business behind the camera. After living with actress Francine Racette for 20 years or so, and having three sons together, Donald and Francine married in 1990. Their children are Roeg, Rossif, and Angus. Rossif and Angus are also actors, making their way in this thespian profession. Tall and somewhat odd looking, Sutherland spent the early part of his career playing killers and weirdos in films like THE DIRTY DOZEN and KELLY'S HEROES. His career got a boost as one of the second-tier Army misfits in THE DIRTY DOZEN; (1967). In KELLY'S HEROES;(1970), Donald Sutherland played an off the wall character, ODDBALL, with a hippy-like, free personna, with positive outlook. He is the commander of two Sherman tanks, that join forces with Clint Eastwood and an ensemble cast to go for gold behind enemy lines.

ODDBALL tells one of his negative men, who disses the plan, "IT'S A BEAUTIFUL, MOTHER BRIDGE AND ITS GOING TO BE THERE." Also in 1970, Donald and Gene Wilder starred in a hilarious spoof of the French Revolution, STAR THE REVOLUTION WITHOUT ME, where two different pairs of twins; (one set from an aristocrat couple, and one from a poor couple), were delivered at the same time at the doctor's home. Because the doctor's staff got confused as to what pair of babies belonged to what couple, the doctor half-switched the babies; meaning that each couple had a child from each set. "At least we will be half right," says the doctor who did this. Donald had fun playing both parts of the mis-matched twins, as did Gene Wilder. This kind of casting changed somewhat with more serious roles in M.A.S.H. and KLUTE where he played a doctor and a cop to great popular success. In 1970, Sutherland originated the role of Hawkeye Pierce in Robert Altman's ground-breaking MASH. Sutherland then co-starred with Jane Fonda in the popular thriller, KLUTE (1971).

Donald also proved to be a wonderful villain, in such films as EYE OF THE NEEDLE;(1981). Donald Sutherland's breathless turn in JFK (1991), playing an ex-soldier turned-informant, was a pivotal scene in that controversial movie. Although Donald has not always found vehicles of this quality over the years, Sutherland has always delivered complex and interesting performances, some of which won nods of recognition, via nomination or winning awards. Sutherland received nomination honors from the GOLDEN GLOBE AWARDS for his perfomance in the film, M.A.S.H.;(1970), and for his performance in the acclaimed Best Picture Of the Year, ORDINARY PEOPLE; (1980). Donald Sutherland has done well on his TV mini-series and TV movie performances as well. He won a PRIMETIME EMMY for Supporting Actor, in CITIZEN X;(1995), and a GOLDEN GLOBE as well. In 2003, Sutherland won a GOLDEN GLOBE for Best Supporting Actor in the mini-series, PATH TO WAR;(2002). Donald Sutherland's notable movie credits include...
